corbin Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hrmmm, you have a 10GB error log? My suggestion is to find out what is causing the errors and stop it. Other than that, you could try less detailed error reporting, or you could pipe the errors through a program like rotatelogs and split it every 20MB or something and gzip them. (Or just do something with the files... You get the point.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 On some installs, apache will keep building up a single error log file, reaching gigs in size. You want to install "logrotate" (apt-get install logrotate etc...) if your on linux. It rotates the log files, gzips them and looks after them nicely. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
